F1 Driver of the Day
Definition
A fan-voted award in Formula 1 (F1) racing, introduced in 2016, given to the driver who delivers the most impressive performance during a Grand Prix, often recognizing overachievers who start outside the top 10 positions and make significant progress through the field.
The award is determined by public votes cast during the race weekend via the official F1 app or website and is announced shortly after the race concludes.
